Throughout her entire career, Charlene Lovett has stood for one thing: results.
When she advocated for landmark legislation to prevent childhood lead poisoning, her efforts led to nearly $2 million dollars in federal funding for Sullivan County to remediate lead in homes. While New Hampshire struggles with soaring housing costs, in 2021 Charlene received the Municipal Advocate Leader of the Year Award for her success in increasing housing in Claremont. When faced with chronic underfunding for Claremont’s school system, her advocacy brought millions in funding for improvements to Claremont’s school system. Most importantly, she spearheaded the revitalization of Claremont, bringing in millions of dollars in outside investment to transform unused buildings into housing and new businesses.
Now is a pivotal time for both Senate District 8 and New Hampshire. At a time of skyrocketing property taxes and housing prices, underfunding of our public schools, and underinvestment in our health systems and hospitals, I know that Charlene can begin the process of solving these long-standing problems. And I know that because she has already done it in Claremont.
Current Senator Ruth Ward is a champion of the school voucher program that is taking public dollars away from our already under-funded public schools, making the problems even worse. It is time for a state senator who will make things better. Charlene has proven time and time again that she is focused on results. And so, to get a state government that focuses on delivering for you, please join me in enthusiastically voting for Charlene Lovett for state senator for Senate District 8.
